As we age our skin loses 1 % of its collagen and elastin for every year older than 20 years of age. Consequently, our skin gets thinner , looser, and starts to sag. At the same time, we also lose our superficial fat pads in our midface and our cheeks flatten . Fillers are a great way to address the loss of fat in our cheeks, the grooves created by the aging process( marionettes and nasolabial folds), along with the jowling. Filling the superficial fat pads gives us back the appearance of youth . If you’re looking for a way to regain the cheeks you had as a younger person, and the fresh-faced glow of your younger days without surgery or downtime, facial fillers might be the solution for you.

What Are Facial Fillers?

Facial fillers, also known as dermal fillers, are injectable treatments designed to restore lost volume and enhance your facial contours. These gel-like substances are injected into the superficial fat pads or deep dermis of the skin to plump and lift the targeted areas.

Our experts at Nouveau MedSpas perform all filler injections, ensuring you receive the best possible care. Additionally, we utilize MD Codes, an advanced cannula technique perfected by Brazilian plastic surgeon Mauricio de de Maio to optimize your results creating a very natural appearance that is not overfilled.

Which Facial Fillers Are Offered at Nouveau MedSpas?

Various dermal filler options are available, each with unique properties and benefits. At Nouveau MedSpas, we offer the following facial fillers:

• Teoxane/ RHA redensity
• Teoxane/ RHA 2
• Teoxane/ RHA 3
• Teoxane/ RHA 4

Teoxane/ RHA Fillers

The Teoxane/ RHA family of fillers are FDA-approved hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers designed to fill the superficial fat pads of the cheeks along with nasolabial folds, marionettes, lips, and Jawline. This family of fillers is made in Geneva Switzerland and is different from all other fillers.
All other fillers are heated to a high temperature and then crosslinked with proteins to give them increased tensile strength . This renders a very brittle and hard filler that easily fractures. Teoxane / RHA fillers are sous vide to a much lower temperature which produces a resilient hyaluronic acid that can be injected more superficially, is safer to inject as the blood vessels are deep, closely mimics the HA of your skin, moves with the patient’s facial expressions, and yields a much more natural result.

Teoxane/ RHA

• Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
• Marionette lines (lines from the corners of the lips down to the chin)
• Lips and lip liner
• Cheeks to adding volume to the superficial fat pads
• Oral commissures

What to Expect During Your Facial Filler Treatment

A typical facial filler procedure involves your practitioner cleansing the treatment area and sometimes applying a topical anesthetic (numbing cream), if desired. The filler will be strategically injected into the target areas using a fine needle or cannula.

The treatment process can be completed in as few as 15 minutes, but the total time will depend on the treatment area and how much filler is used.

What Are MD Codes™ for Filler Injections?

MD Codes, is a comprehensive system of pre-defined injection points on the face designed to optimize the use of dermal fillers for facial rejuvenation and enhancement. Developed by Dr. Mauricio de Maio, a renowned Brazilian plastic surgeon, these codes serve as a guide to achieve predictable and consistent results with filler treatments ans usually involves filling with a cannula .

The primary goal of MD Codes is to shift the focus from treating individual wrinkles or lines to addressing the underlying causes of facial aging, such as volume loss, sagging and changes in facial structure. By identifying the appropriate injection sites and techniques, the system provides a more natural and harmonious outcome, enhancing your overall facial appearance rather than just targeting isolated problem areas.

In essence, MD Codes serve as a roadmap for us to deliver safe, effective and personalized dermal filler treatments with the best possible results.

Dermal Fillers Recovery

After your treatment at Nouveau MedSpas, you may experience mild redness, swelling or bruising at the injection sites. These side effects usually subside within 24 hours.

Downtime and Restrictions After Facial Fillers

One of the benefits of facial fillers is that they require minimal downtime. You can return to your regular activities immediately after treatment, but it is recommended to avoid the following for at least the first 24 hours:

• Rubbing the treated area
• Excessive sun exposure
• Exposure to excessive heat
• Applying makeup to the injected area for 1-2 hours
